Four More Ounces 🇨🇳 🇦🇺
This morning I popped into the LCS looking for containers to hold some oddly shaped silver. I had zero luck, but of course I didn’t leave the shop empty handed. ☺️
Today I picked up my first pandas and kookaburras. 🐼
(Sadly there is no kookaburra emoji.)
Panda Party
The obverse of each panda coin shows a picture of the Temple of Heaven(a site of spiritual significance in Beijing), and the Chinese words translating to The People’s Republic of China.
Obverse of the 2016 and 2017 pandas
Reverse 2016 Panda. 🐼
Mintage: 8,000,000
Reverse 2017 Panda. 🐼
Mintage: 8,000,000
The price on the pandas was way better at the LCS than I have seen online. I am not looking to complete the whole collection, but picking up these two cuties has filled my heart with Panda happiness. 😍
Off to Australia
The obverse of each kookaburra coin has a picture of Queen Elizabeth II.
2014 and 2017 coins
Reverse 2014 Kookaburra
Mintage: 500,000
Reverse 2017 Kookaburra
Mintage: 500,000
Kookaburras are another coin that has been released yearly for ages. The first came out in 1990. Some years the picture is better than others. I had been hoping to add at least one to my collection and was happy to find two cute years today at the LCS.
Happy Stacking!
